They had 6 gods who had multiple personifications. This isnt particularly accurate for a documentary about Mayan gods. Their creation myth was a slightly different and less destructive myth than the Aztec who came much later. Honestly this Doc leaves so much out and messes so much up.
Yeah, this has quite a few things that are massively oversimplified or just made up from third-hand tales told by the Spanish.
But it's nothing unexpected. So many recent 'documentaries' about ancient civilisations spout assumptions as absolutely set-in-stone facts or only look at their actions through eyes solely focussed on today's twisted culture war.
@@Gainn yhea the stuff recorded by archologist I'm inclined to believe especially when they don't make assumptions based on what they find. It's the "reports" on certain details that are said as fact. I'm sure the big bets happened but children? OK slaves again, it's known that they had slaves and that slaves are a possession so OK so maybe maybe child slaves but this was sold as them betting their own children... 🤔
The title in itself says it all i think. Regarding if you can take it serious what is said in the video or not. "The bloodthirsty gods (These evil satan worshippers need to get help! bring them the cross and the nails! )" That is a uninformed conquistador mindset.
No they have over 150 Gods!!!!!!!!!💔

Excellent documentary
a bit dramatic with the sound effects and zooming and all that.
I thought they were going to talk more about the actual Dieties and not just a historical account of the Mayans. A little disappointed.
i noticed that too but i remember in the first part it was said THE LOST GOD so i understand why is because the gods were lost, so they did know just a little about them.😅
bot?
Very interesting documentary. Thank you. 🎉
Gosh! I always thought Lord Pakal was sitting in a spaceship! ..
The remarkable information you provide to your viewers needs to be applauded. I sincerely appreciate your effort to expand your viewers knowledge. A sincere thank you!

Nice history I am a Maya descent in belize and lots of sites here to be uncover
Climbing all those steep stairs...
What if someone had knee problems and was ordered to climb
@@hardikyadav9204 What if someone was healthy and was ordered to climb? maybe the spanish were ordered to climb them as a form of torture? but i wouldnt know about that. The steep stairs were not meant to be climbed at all. The climbable stairs are inside or on the sides almost invisible.
Not climbing with headless and heart offers to God bodies rolling down those steps 😊
The ammount of books burned by the spanish inquisition is unbelievable
Is not that much. Take a look at how many books and people were burned by the Protestants. It vastly surpasses Spanish. And the the Mayan codices were not even burned by the inquisition since it was created to persecute heresies and false converts.
Under paqual tomb there's more stairs leading down, move the paqual tomb stone and under it more stair cases to MICTLAN
Great video 👍
trying to fathom the levels of physical labor and manpower . imagine trying to start a project like this tomorrow and you don't have as much as a shovel. fuck.
But they did, just not the ones we use
Also under all them miles of forest and jungle there's deep underground facilities. 😢😢
I just came back from visiting Mayan ruins in Tulum, Mexico. To my surprise, the doorways in each temple (or what's left of them) were all very short. The Mayans were all about 4 1/2 feet tall! Crazy to think that they were fierce warriors 😳
Yes I agree. Our indigenous people in the Philippines also were around that height when first pictures of them were taken by Americans. With their height, it was amazing to now how they hunted wild animals, climbed trees and mountains, planted crops and helped fought during colonization.
Size doesn't make a warriors, what stupid comment!
@@melissatf5268 so you're telling me that a tiny person could beat up Jason mamoa??
You are delusional
A lot of people that exist today did not exist back then. Most of todays people ere mixed race/multiracial hybrids. They were probably big for their time/people
Mayan are Aluxes look it up
Scary tale of horror
Well at the same time in Europe, the church was burning live people and torturing, and before that the Romans, and after that the Ottomans, the French with their lovely guillotine, and don't forget the most civilized of all the Germans which they do not need an introduction. That was a Scary tale of horror.
Not as terrifying as torturing you and then burning you alive. Europeans were the true devils of the world
Learned something new today. Thank you.
It is a shame that Central America has been curse for thousands of years and still is hunted by fair and instabilities from the past history and never recovered.
To be climbing and building up those steps they must’ve had some strong calves and high stamina
I'm taking this information with a grain of salt.
I gave up because of the idiotic presentation.
Hunab Ku is something the Spanish developed to try and direct the Maya to the idea of one god, that being their god.. has nothing to do with Mayan mythology or folklore pre-colonization.
U are correct. Hanab Ku came way later on too
So, they appeared 2000 years B.C., then disappeared from Tical, only to re-surface during 600 A.D.? That’s a large gap for such an advanced civilization
it doesn't make sense to colonizers that Maya Aztec and Northern Natives are one people who migrated amongst each other. Its over for them because we know the Maya Aztec empire started in North America when South America is Ice.
The gap is large for the cities of the peten who calapsed White the one of the yucatan survived longer. You should watch ancient americas he as very good videos about mesoamerica.

I thought the ball from the ball game was made out of rubber. I dont think a stone ball would work quite as good but idk please tell me if im wrong i just wanna know.
No, you're right.
What scientists fail to realize.
The Mayan were able to utilize the blood urine, and tears of their sacrificed in their construction process. The Mayan understood the chemical make up of blood protein urine properties to include the tears when mixed with other properties from the earth could be utilized to construct extremely strong structural building materials.
Only now is science rediscovering this profound and shocking understanding of how this could be...
Imagine that.
Are you telling me that we could kill thousands of people just to make more sturdy of buildings?
Those Guatemalans still do that it’s a sacrifice to Satan the pastor Maldonado did that in his building and cash luna a girl in the Cancun area had a huge pig and she said they were going to sacrifice his blood in a ritual for Christmas this was in the catholic church
@@yrretgnortsmra8955 you can sacrifice humans to have a lot of money like Jennifer Lopez Celia cruz etc
Sorry, not buying it. In what universe could you harvest enough tears from even a thousand individuals to make a difference? First getting enough people to produce enough years would be impossible. And in that climate, staying ahead of simple evaporation would be tough. I’m just not buying it.
@@frankedgar6694 the guys talking the truth , allrite there wont be a million ltrs of tears but they were using people and there bits to make mortar
Taking this with a grain of salt because everything discussed is very generalized.
Pretty sure them using a head as a ball was debunked? But i could be mistaken
Gog & Magog
I can do without the damned sound effects drowning out the narrator.
"The mayans only believed in one god..." and then they go on to claim the mayans honored many gods.
They have many god the god of death (la muerte) the god fertilization etc
Totoise worship by ancient Mayans is a close parallel to Kurma Avatar of Lord Vishnu .. Snakes and Tortoises are found in alomost all Mayan temples - Ekbalam ,Uxmal, Kabah, Tulum... may be many more .. all Anicent Native Americans (Mayans, Aztecs, Incas,...etc) and Asian Hindus are CONNECTED by Divinity, faith and spirit, religion, knowledge of Math, geometry, Temple architectures.. eating rice, vegetables.. since BC times..
Seems like the many god enteties where the fallen angels

I believe that they refered to the god n demon or dragons to refer to certain,things going on in the planet like volcanos wat we know now as earthquakes plus the the sky ,the stars were different m remember these blood lines had to be keep top knotch
Now we know they were a type of fallen angels.
Not all deities and angels are demons though.
They still believe in the god still have chamanes I was a missionary in Cancun area for 7 years and the first week I was there a chaman came in thru the jungle side of the house early in the morning dressed in war fare painted face I was extremely tired so I turn around went back to sleep! But yeah they knew I had come into their village they are protected of their people they will not disclose so easy! You will never be part of them
They snuffed that chicken
I'd list how many things are either provably incorrect or (currently) unprovable assumptions..
But I think UA-cam has a character limit that would prevent me. Good thing it's only a short.
The story is the drama. Stop wasting time trying to make the (nauseating) visuals and sound the focus of your documentaries.
Liked the Documentary,.....the Maya Culture was and is quite Amazing,..........unfortunately it was mainly the rival Tribes that were Hired to take down the Maya, in a sort,.........the Spanish eventually Betrayed them as well,....!
Jezus christ. Whoever made this wanted to cause epileptic attacks. I'm not even suffering from it and it's bothering me.
Then why they kill
In general less twirling fragments, although the ones that are there definitely increased in speed. But great footage nonetheless. Keep going with the Channel4 documentaries...
Gave up on this OTT stupid and annoying presentation.
👀🤫
You are wrong: 2000 yrs BC? What are you talking about?
They started settle around 1500 BC, that's already been proved by C14.
coming back in 2
love you
The sound editing here is unbearable.
Amen. Idiots made it this way bc they assumed their audience was just as brain-desd as they are.
Horrible background sounds
Central America not South America
The history of the indigenous peoples in the Americas is much, much older than a few thousand years. We judge the Maya, Aztecs, Inca’s and others on the traces that we find. But when we dig our way from the present to the past, we must know that the Earth is suffering from a cycle of recurring natural disasters. That is told in the Popol Vuh. These disasters create a cycle of civilizations. There are four primitive civilizations. Sometimes mentioned a sun or world era. The next civilization lives in the fifth sun. This becomes eventually a high developed civilization that disappeared 20,000 years ago. Then the cycle starts again. During the first 4 suns the people were guided by alien deities. Also at the start of the fifth sun. At a certain moment in time, those deities leave the people alone. Led by fanatic priests, the people start offering more and more often and from fruits and animals, they started offering children and humans. They knew that after death, new life would occur and they wanted the deities to return. That is how the Aztec are remembered, but once they were high educated. They left us the sun stone, which is a 20,000 years old warning for this recurring disasters. To learn much more about the cycle of disasters and civilizations, recurring floods, ancient high tech and alien deities, read the e-book: "what I know about Nibiru". You can read it nicely on every computer, tablet or smartphone. Just search for: know Nibiru
What the hell is up with the awful random stupid video shots? Ruined the whole damn documentary. Thought I was going to have a seizure from all the pointless spinning.
When are you making a doc on Europeans and their thirst for torture and burning humans alive?
Bowling with human skulls
Central America Civilization was more focusing the end time and human sacrifice this cases a rebellion and fall of all their civilization.
Wrong, the Mayans believe in cycles, that is why they have the most accurate calendars in the world, they repeat. Second, the fall was caused by them for the depletion of the resources, they burned too many trees to create the stucco in the monuments and roads. It is already scientifically proved that to create the stucco they need an insane amount of green trees to burn at hight temperatures. They fell for a self-inflicted ecological disaster.
Wish historians should come to belize and do DNA test Maya ancestry still exists here
Are you sure about the Mayans starting their deforestation around 2,000 BCE? Wouldn't that have been about 2,500 years too early?
bot
Informative and enjoyable. But take out the horror film screams and roars, and the insane camera panning and it could be so much better.
Gotta do all you can to make the natives look bad, yes.

This would have been more interesting and easier to watch without the God-awful sound track and rapid and nauseating movement of the camera.
In a nut shell Mayans were too advanced for man today we today could not carry out any of the advance architecture they had built
Well you would if you worship Satan all that blood they shed was for knowledge and wisdom the more blood they shed the more knowledge they had

@@jovitavillalpando2827one killed for a better cause and the other killed because they didn’t wanna follow their god.
Might as well call Spaniards satan worshippers as well lol
The way this video sensationalizes renders what accuracies it offers into falsehood. It presents with exoticized music a false image of a bloodthirsty people who suddenly vanished. Mayan people are STILL AROUND TODAY. The abandonment of Mayan cities is no more bizarre than Detroit. GMAFB
I just hate when we put our words on their glyphs. I am ALMOST POSITIVE the word "God" was not used by the Maya.
They had many” dioses
This is exactly what Sumerians beleive
They were the same people racially - related to south asians
@@beast9125sumerians look more like middle easterners?
Or africans
The ancient American inhabitants kept written records which have been translated and published in the Book of Mormon.
So they drank well water with decomposing bodies in it? No wonder they ceased to exist 🤢
Chichen itza is like chicken pizza
Beautiful introduction to this amazing civilisation, the world knows so little about it, as this great civilisation was suppressed and demonised by the Christians, who wanted to erase their history and replace it with Christianity. Maya was such an amazing civilisation, that Maya language should be brought back as the official languages in all lands where the Maya lived,
I dont see how you find a civilazation of heart sacrificing child killing murderers "amazing", but you do you i guess
@@jpraise6771 @@jpraise6771 Hi, Fear is a driving force of many early civilisations. Maya was a pristine civilisation, they originated architecture, mythology, calenders and astronomy, a writing system and they spoke an incredibly motivating language. If Maya were to have their own county without being dominated by other, I believe that they would evolve quite amazing society and would become wealthy, to understand how fear helped ancient Rome see ua-cam.com/video/eVYD4orSvOo/v-deo.html or how it works in modern world see ua-cam.com/video/Aos3u416DnQ/v-deo.html
There was an effort to re introduce the language and train educators to teach in the native language in that area. Also a group entered as refugees and the Bay Area community was helping them settle here.
Chris. Perhaps you should spend a day doing research before making such an uninformed statement. Right now, I have pile of books written over the last 50 years discussing the Mayan civilization. Much is known. I don’t even have current books discussing the msg 1-5 years of research. Much is known. Read a book to educate yourself.
H Praise - You’re down on them and I get it. However, how many child molestors and/or child sex traffickers live within 50 miles of you? We don’t live in a sterile world either.

The Mayan pyramids are so much more beautiful than the Egyptian pyramids
They are much younger than the egy ones
I think i know why. the Egyptian pyramids have been visited by more people than Mayan pyramids. for some reason, Egyptian pyramids receive more advertising through social media. if i am to visit Mayan pyramids, i need to hurry because I'm almost 70, with a stroke.
@@dannygutierrez8010I’ve been to both, while Egyptian pyramids are impressive for their immense size they do not compare to Mayan pyramids when it comes to their architecture. The Maya pyramids are carved in such precision with such ornamentation and beauty.
When the story is told by someone who narrates off of European accounts and theories, because most of the history was burned by Spaniards, I take it as a grain of salt 🤷♂️
The Maya did not build anything great. Maybe the Olmecs. The Mayans just moved in. Even in their mythos, they say a giant came from the ocean and brought with him knowledge and civilization
You're half right, they were no giants but they talk about white beard gods.
Mayan/Aztec/Inca Deity worshippers be like: *"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GODS! SKULL FOR THE SKULL THRONE!"*

Societies that do awful things are no less or more advanced because of them. Religion is a strange thing.

these TV made documentries really are bull crap. Half the info is not accurate, and they spend very little time actually talking compared to showing forest shots and taking long dramatic pauses to aw at their footage.
Unfortunately, the people that you were recording are not the aboriginal Mayan people. The people recorded in this documentary are what the Spaniards called mestizos, resulting from the admixture of Mongoloid invaders, aboriginal natives and Spanish conquistadors. These are the people the Conquistador used to replace us, the autochthonous Mayan.
😂it never fails with the Afrocentric thirst for clout. You’re of west African descent get over it already.
@@rustydogrustydog9191 it's proof that being born one is akin of being born disabled.

Still, all that technology of construction had to come from somewhere. You just don't come up with the geometry, the math, stone cutting ability, from out of nothing and nowhere. Someone had to give them this information. It was so far Advanced for that time...
What do you mean by "out of nowhere"? You could say that about any knowledge ever throughout human history. "Out of nowhere" we made fire and invented the wheel.
I think it just is one of the main reasons that the mayans aswell as the aztecs had no church that beated down upon any sort of technological or medical advancement saying that it is a work of the devil. And instead burned those who had ideas for new inventions on stake, or put their thumbs into the thumbscrew.
His name is satan he requires blood
Tunes - so your 20th century mind can’t wrap around the FACT that building large buildings has been done for thousands of years, around the world, by diverse cultures which are totally unrelated by their time periods and locations. I bet it was aliens, huh? Surely men of all ages are just too dumb to figure things out, huh? FYI, if you are not stymied by modern time constraints, you can take 5 years or 50 years to get it right.
Bad
I usually sympathize with the natives over european influence.... but with these guys, I think karma may be involved. They got perverted with religion and slaughter. Not saying european culture isn't doing the same thing. karma is inescapable no matter who you are.
I know what you mean. It seems like they were on a path of self destruction regardless if the Europeans came or not.
@sneksnekitsasnek I can't prove that it does, honestly I don't know, but you can't prove that it doesn't exist either.
I can only hope that some sort of justice is built in to the universe. If not, well then that sucks.
@sneksnekitsasnek Your name makes me think of a Slytherin password or something... ;)
Once you read the european accounts the chronics of what the europeans did to the natives i think you change your mind, and rather you will see what is happening now, also with all the people leaving christianity that this is indeed the Karma, and not that what happened there back then to the natives.
They were doing wonderfully and alright before the european contact... and the religion/culture is beautiful IMO but each to their own
Demons
More like douchebags but okay
Did the Mayans know of the One God, the God of the Bible?
No, not until the 16th century.....
There was no contact whatsoever between the Maya and any people from the Old World (i.e. Europe, Africa and Asia) who would have known of the Christian religion, until the early 16th century
(the early 1500s), when the Spanish conquistadors conquered Mexico, Central America and most of South America.....
By the 16th century, however, the Maya Civilization was long over......
The Classic Period of Maya Civilization lasted from c.300 CE to c.900 CE.....
After that, they abandoned their cities, their temples and pyramids were swallowed up by the rainforest and their civilization fell into ruins.....
But, but during the Post-Classic Period, the Mayan peoples continued to inhabit the rainforests of the Yucatán Peninsula in what is now southeastern Mexico, and in Guatemala and Belize and part of Honduras......
They just didn't have their civilization anymore......
and they would have had no idea of the religious beliefs of people coming from around the Mediterranean and Europe, until the 16th century, because they didn't even have any idea that those people existed......
That is, they had absolutely no idea that there were even continents to the East, across the vast ocean, with all these groups of people and civilizations in Europe and Africa and Asia, just like people in Europe and Africa and Asia had absolutely no idea that there were continents to the West, across the vast ocean, that we now call North and South America.......
But there are still to this day Mayan peoples in Mexico and Belize and Guatemala who speak their indigenous Mayan languages.....
The Mayan languages are actually a large family of closely related languages.....
Most of them are Catholic and also speak Spanish, but some are even more comfortable in their native Mayan language than Spanish!
Why would central americans worship a jewish desert deity? Lmao
Rapture is in the bible 🤪
